The first small nematodes to be described, free-living in the seventeenth century and plant-parasitic in the eighteenth, are identifiable only from their peculiar habitats; taxonomy came relatively late in nematology because adequate optical equipment was a prerequisite. In the study of the free-...
Nematodes are a family of over 80,000 species that are found both on land and in marine and freshwater. Also called roundworms...
Nematodes are roundworms that have diversified to fill several different ecological niches. They are found in the soil, water, and host organisms. This diversity is made possible by the evolution of over 80,000 different species of nematodes. ...

Roundworms, also known as nematodes, are parasitic worms that comprise the phylum nematoda. This phylum is made up of at least 25,000 known species, and some scientists believe the actual number could be much higher. They can be found everywhere, including in topsoil and in the water. Many...
Insects, fungi, nematodes, and many other organisms use trees as a resource, most commonly for food, shelter, or as a substrate for oviposition. These organisms can potentially be present in WPM and be transported anywhere in the world if they are not removed or rendered infertile, inactive,...
Single-celled organisms (protozoa), small worms (nematodes) and mites feed on the bacteria and fungi. Predatory nematodes, predatory mites and other invertebrates (sowbugs, millipedes, beetles) feed on the protozoa, mites and nematodes. All of these organisms work to balance the population of ...
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a widely used model organism for research into aging. However, nematodes diverged from other animals between 600 and 1300 million years ago. Beyond the intuitive impression that some aspects of aging appear to be universal, is there evidence that insights into...
